Driftwood by Marie Brennan

3.25

A quick and fun book, but I did want more answers. 

 

Driftwood is a patchwork realm composed of fragments of worlds that survived their particular apocalypse. Last is a man who seemingly won’t die, even as his world was long consumed by Driftwood. The book largely is composed of people telling stories about Last, which were fun and well done, but as the most significant anomaly in this odd realm, I was really hoping for more answers about the fundamental nature of what is going on. If the book hadn’t focused so intently on Last, I would have been more satisfying with the slice-of-life vibe, bit it didn’t quite work for me. 

 

Lightly recommended if you want a quick fantasy with fun vibes were characters rapidly traveling through miniature worlds were magic is different.
